Newmont Announces Full Year and Fourth Quarter 2015 Results
DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)--February 17, 2016--Newmont Mining Corporation (NYSE: NEM) (Newmont or the Company) announced full-year 2015 operating and financial results, including:
“Newmont completed the year with safer and more efficient operations, a stronger balance sheet and an improved portfolio,” said Gary Goldberg, President and Chief Executive Officer. “We increased EBITDA by almost one-third to $2.7 billion, more than doubled free cash flow to $756 million, and lowered net debt by 19%, despite a 9% drop in realized gold price. Our performance improved as a result of our disciplined and systematic focus on cost and efficiency. This delivered a 10% reduction in AISC and supported our ability to fund five profitable development projects and acquire Cripple Creek & Victor. Our plans for 2016 and beyond remain focused on improving our underlying business, strengthening our portfolio and creating value for shareholders.”
Fourth quarter 2015 highlights include gold AISC below $1,000 per ounce for the sixth consecutive quarter, adjusted EBITDA of nearly $500 million and gold production in line with the prior year quarter. Fourth quarter results were impacted by lower metal prices, delayed export shipments from Indonesia due to late receipt of an export permit, and other non-recurring costs.

Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2015 Results
Adjusted net income was $20 million, or $0.04 per share in the fourth quarter and $507 million or $0.98 per share for the year; compared to $86 million, or $0.17 per share in the prior year quarter and $545 million or $1.09 per share for 2014. Primary adjustments to net income in the fourth quarter included a non-cash reclamation charge, tax valuation allowance adjustments and a one-time payment related to prior period royalties and taxes from the revised Ghana Investment Agreement. GAAP net income (loss) attributable to shareholders from continuing operations was $(247) million or $(0.48) per share in the fourth quarter and $193 million or $0.38 per share for the full year, compared to $39 million or $0.08 per share for the prior year quarter and $548 million or $1.10 per share in 2014.
Revenue totaled $1,816 million in the fourth quarter and $7,729 million for the year, compared to $2,017 million in the prior year quarter and $7,292 million for 2014. During the quarter, higher production at Batu Hijau and the addition of Cripple Creek & Victor help offset lower metal prices and the impact of divestitures. Batu Hijau continued to mine higher grade Phase 6 ore but fourth quarter copper sales volumes were impacted by the export permit delay, and 18 percent lower than the third quarter. Newmont received a six month export permit on November 20, 2015, and revenue from approximately 27 million pounds of copper and 39,000 ounces of gold shipped in December is expected to be recognized in the first quarter 2016.
Average realized price was $1,084 per ounce for gold for the fourth quarter, down from $1,194 in the prior year quarter; and $1,141 for the year, down from $1,258 in 2014. Average realized copper price per pound was $1.86 for the fourth quarter, down from $2.55 in the prior year quarter; and $2.13 for the year, down from $2.65 in 2014.
Attributable gold production was 1.25 million ounces in the fourth quarter, compared to 1.26 million ounces in the prior year quarter; and 5.04 million ounces for the year, compared to 4.85 million ounces in 2014. During the quarter, higher production at Batu Hijau and the addition of Cripple Creek & Victor offset production declines at Yanacocha and Ahafo. Newmont has generated approximately $1.7 billion in fair value asset sales since 2013 while maintaining steady attributable gold production.
Attributable copper production was 39,000 tonnes in the fourth quarter, up from 29,000 tonnes in the prior year quarter, and 166,000 tonnes for the full year, up from 86,000 tonnes in 2014. Copper production increased 34% over the prior year quarter due to higher grade ore at Batu Hijau.
CAS was $680 per gold ounce in the fourth quarter, compared to $631 per ounce in the prior year quarter; and $633 per ounce for the year, down from $706 per ounce in 2014. Full year CAS improvements were driven by ongoing cost and efficiency gains realized through the Full Potential program, as well as favorable exchange rates and oil prices. Fourth quarter CAS was impacted by lower production at Yanacocha and Ahafo, and delayed sales from Batu Hijau. Copper CAS was $1.18 per pound in the fourth quarter, down from $1.86 in the prior year quarter; and $1.21 per pound for the year, down from $2.88 in 2014.
AISC was $999 per gold ounce in the fourth quarter, compared to $927 in the prior year quarter; and $898 per ounce for the full year, compared to $1,002 in 2014. AISC reductions for the year were driven by ongoing cost and efficiency improvements as well as favorable exchange rates and oil pricing. Fourth quarter AISC increased versus the prior year quarter due to lower volumes at Yanacocha and timing of sustaining capital spend. Copper AISC was $1.51 per pound in the fourth quarter, down from $2.39 in the prior year quarter, and $1.59 for the full year, down from $3.65 in 2014.
Capital expenditures for the fourth quarter were $460 million of which $248 million was sustaining capital. Full year capital spend was at the low end of guidance at $1.4 billion, of which $746 million was sustaining capital. Sustaining capital was lower for the year due to continued cost and efficiency improvements as well as some timing impacts. Development capital was used to construct the Turf Vent Shaft, Merian and Long Canyon. Fourth quarter sustaining capital increased to build water treatment facilities at Yanacocha and a paste fill plant at Carlin.
Consolidated cash flow from continuing operations was $275 million in the fourth quarter and $2,157 million for the full year, compared to $562 million in the prior year quarter and $1,451 million for 2014, as higher volumes, cost and efficiency improvements and favorable oil prices and Australian dollar exchange rates more than offset the impact of lower metal prices. Free cash flow was $(185) million in the fourth quarter compared to $218 million in the prior year quarter and $756 million for the full year, a $415 million improvement from 2014. The Company held $2,782 million of consolidated cash on its balance sheet at year-end 2015, up 16% from the prior year.

Projects Update
Outlook
Newmont updated its long-term outlook in December 2015. Guidance calls for AISC below $1,000 per ounce and profitable production of at least 4.5 to 5.0 million ounces per year through 2020.
Attributable gold production is expected to increase from between 4.8 and 5.3 million ounces in 2016 to between 5.2 and 5.7 million ounces in 2017, and remain stable at between 4.5 and 5.0 million ounces through 2020. New production at CC&V, Long Canyon Phase 1, Merian and the Tanami expansion are expected to offset the impacts of maturing operations at Yanacocha and mine sequencing at Batu Hijau. Projects that are not yet approved including Ahafo Mill Expansion, Subika Underground and Northwest Exodus represent upside of between 250,000 and 400,000 ounces of gold production beginning in 2018.
Attributable copper production is expected to be between 120,000 and 160,000 tonnes in 2016 and 2017 before decreasing to between 70,000 and 110,000 tonnes by 2018. The decline is due to the depletion of higher grade Phase 6 ore at Batu Hijau in 2018. Production at Phoenix Copper Leach and Boddington is expected to remain stable for the period.
Gold cost outlook – AISC is expected to improve from between $900 and $960 per ounce in 2016 to between $850 and $950 per ounce in 2017. 2018 costs are expected to remain below $1,000 per ounce despite higher stripping at Boddington and in Nevada and lower production at Batu Hijau. CAS is expected to be between $650 and $700 per ounce in 2016, and remain stable at between $650 and $750 per ounce in 2017 and 2018. Costs benefit from higher grades at Batu Hijau and Carlin underground mines through 2017, and from lower cost production at Tanami and Merian through 2018. Ongoing cost and efficiency improvements are expected to offset lower grades and throughput at Ahafo and maturing operations at Yanacocha. Full Potential savings and lower cost ounces from projects that have yet to be approved could further improve costs in the longer term.
Copper cost outlook – Copper AISC is expected to average between $1.50 and $1.70 per pound in 2016 with higher grade ore at Batu Hijau, and increase slightly to between $1.60 and $1.80 per pound in 2017, and to between $2.40 and $2.60 per pound in 2018. CAS is expected to be between $1.20 and $1.40 per pound in 2016 and 2017, and increase to between $1.80 and $2.00 per pound by 2018. The increase in costs over the period is mostly due to lower production volumes at Batu Hijau as Phase 6 ore is depleted as well as higher stripping at Boddington though 2018.
Capital – 2016 sustaining capital is expected to be between $700 and $750 million increasing to between $800 and $900 million in 2017 to cover equipment rebuilds, water treatment and tailings storage facilities. Technical and operational cost and efficiency improvements represent further upside. Sustaining capital is expected to remain stable at between $700 and $800 million to cover infrastructure, equipment and ongoing mine development in the longer term.
Debt – Newmont paid $200 million toward its existing term loan and $250 million toward project debt in Ghana and Indonesia in 2015. The Company expects to continue to repay project debt and will analyze opportunities to pay down other Corporate debt in 2016, targeting the highest rates and nearest-term maturities first.

2016 Outlook in the table above are considered “forward-looking statements” and are based upon certain assumptions, including, but not limited to, metal prices, oil prices, certain exchange rates and other assumptions. For example, 2016 Outlook assumes $1,100/oz Au, $2.50/lb Cu, $0.75 USD/AUD exchange rate and $65/barrel WTI. AISC and CAS cost estimates do not include inflation. Production, AISC and capital estimates exclude projects that have not yet been approved (NW Exodus, Twin Underground, Batu Phase 7, Ahafo Mill Expansion and Subika Underground). The potential impact on inventory valuation as a result of lower prices, input costs, and project decisions are not included as part of this Outlook. Such assumptions may prove to be incorrect and actual results may differ materially from those anticipated. See cautionary note at the end of the release. |
|
b |
All-in sustaining costs as used in the Company’s Outlook is a non-GAAP metric defined as the sum of cost applicable to sales (including all direct and indirect costs related to current gold production incurred to execute on the current mine plan), remediation costs (including operating accretion and amortization of asset retirement costs), G&A, exploration expense, advanced projects and R&D, treatment and refining costs, other expense, net of one-time adjustments and sustaining capital. |
|
c |
Includes Lone Tree operations. |
|
d |
Includes TRJV operations. |
|
e |
Consolidated production for Yanacocha is presented on a total production basis for the mine site; attributable production represents a 51.35% interest. |
|
f |
Both consolidated and attributable production are shown on a pro-rata basis with a 50% ownership for Kalgoorlie. |
|
g |
Production outlook does not include equity production from stakes in TMAC (29.4%), La Zanja (46.94%) and Regis (19.45%). |
|
h |
Consolidated production for Batu Hijau is presented on a total production basis for the mine site; whereas attributable production represents a 48.5% ownership interest in 2016 outlook. Outlook for Batu Hijau remains subject to various factors, including, without limitation, renegotiation of the CoW, issuance of future export approvals, negotiations with the labor union, future in-country smelting availability and regulations relating to export quotas, and certain other factors. |
|
i |
Consolidated expense outlook is adjusted to exclude extraordinary items. For example, the tax rate outlook above is a consolidated adjusted rate, which assumes the exclusion of certain tax valuation allowance adjustments. Beginning in 2016, regional general and administrative expense is included in total general and administrative expense (G&A) and community development cost is included in CAS. |

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Non-GAAP financial measures are intended to provide additional information only and do not have any standard meaning prescribed by generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). These measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Our management uses adjusted net income, adjusted net income per diluted share and Adjusted EBITDA as measures of operating performance to assist in comparing performance from period to period on a consistent basis; as a measure for planning and forecasting overall expectations and for evaluating actual results against such expectations; in communications with the board of directors, stockholders, analysts and investors concerning our financial performance; as useful comparisons to the performance of our competitors; and as metrics of certain management incentive compensation calculations. We believe that adjusted net income, adjusted net income per diluted share and Adjusted EBITDA are used by and are useful to investors and other users of our financial statements in evaluating our operating performance because they provide an additional tool to evaluate our performance without regard to special and non-core items, which can vary substantially from company to company depending upon accounting methods and book value of assets and capital structure. We have provided reconciliations of all non-GAAP measures to their nearest U.S. GAAP measures and have consistently applied the adjustments within our reconciliations in arriving at each non-GAAP measure. These adjustments consist of special items from our U.S. GAAP financial statements as well as other non-core items, such as property, plant and mine development impairments, restructuring costs, gains and losses on sales of asset sales, abnormal production costs and transaction/acquisition costs included in our U.S. GAAP results that warrant adjustment to arrive at non-GAAP results. We consider these items to be necessary adjustments for purposes of evaluating our ongoing business performance and are often considered non-recurring. Such adjustments are subjective and involve significant management judgment.
Adjusted net income (loss)
Management of the Company uses Adjusted net income (loss) to evaluate the Company’s operating performance, and for planning and forecasting future business operations. The Company believes the use of Adjusted net income (loss) allows investors and analysts to understand the results of the continuing operations of the Company and its direct and indirect subsidiaries relating to the production and sale of minerals, by excluding certain items that have a disproportionate impact on our results for a particular period. The net income (loss) adjustments are presented net of tax generally at Company’s statutory effective tax rate of 35% and net of our partners’ noncontrolling interests when applicable. The corollary impact of the adjustments through the Company’s Valuation allowance is shown separately. The tax valuation allowance adjustment includes items such as foreign tax credits, alternative minimum tax credits, capital losses and disallowed foreign losses. Management’s determination of the components of Adjusted net income (loss) are evaluated periodically and based, in part, on a review of non-GAAP financial measures used by mining industry analysts. Net income (loss) attributable to Newmont stockholders is reconciled to Adjusted net income (loss) as follows:

Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization (Adjusted EBITDA)
We also present adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (Adjusted EBITDA) as a non-GAAP measure. Management of the Company uses EBITDA and EBITDA adjusted for non-core or certain items that have a disproportionate impact on our results for a particular period (Adjusted EBITDA) as non-GAAP measures to evaluate the Company’s operating performance. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not represent, and should not be considered an alternative to, net earnings (loss), operating earnings (loss), or cash flow from operations as those terms are defined by GAAP, and does not necessarily indicate whether cash flows will be sufficient to fund cash needs. Although Adjusted EBITDA and similar measures are frequently used as measures of operations and the ability to meet debt service requirements by other companies, our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA is not necessarily comparable to such other similarly titled captions of other companies. The Company believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management and board of directors. Management’s determination of the components of Adjusted EBITDA are evaluated periodically and based, in part, on a review of non-GAAP financial measures used by mining industry analysts. Net income (loss) attributable to Newmont stockholders is reconciled to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as follows:

Free Cash Flow
Management uses Free Cash Flow as a non-GAAP measure to analyze cash flows generated from operations. Free Cash Flow is Net cash provided from operations plus Net cash used for discontinued operations less Additions to property, plant and mine development as presented on the Statement of Cash Flows. The Company believes Free Cash Flow is also useful as one of the bases for comparing the Company’s performance with its competitors. Although Free Cash Flow and similar measures are frequently used as measures of cash flows generated from operations by other companies, the Company’s calculation of Free Cash Flow is not necessarily comparable to such other similarly titled captions of other companies.
The presentation of non-GAAP Free Cash Flow is not meant to be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net income as an indicator of the Company’s performance, or as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity as those terms are defined by GAAP, and does not necessarily indicate whether cash flows will be sufficient to fund cash needs. The Company’s definition of Free Cash Flow is limited in that it does not represent residual cash flows available for discretionary expenditures due to the fact that the measure does not deduct the payments required for debt service and other contractual obligations or payments made for business acquisitions. Therefore, the Company believes it is important to view Free Cash Flow as a measure that provides supplemental information to the Company’s Statements of Consolidated Cash Flows.
The following table sets forth a reconciliation of Free Cash Flow, a non-GAAP financial measure, to net cash provided from operations, which the Company believes to be the GAAP financial measure most directly comparable to Free Cash Flow, as well as information regarding net cash used in investing activities and net cash used in financing activities.

Costs applicable to sales per ounce/pound
Costs applicable to sales per ounce/pound are non-GAAP financial measures. These measures are calculated by dividing the costs applicable to sales of gold and copper by gold ounces or copper pounds sold, respectively. These measures are calculated on a consistent basis for the periods presented on a consolidated basis. Costs applicable to sales per ounce/pound statistics are intended to provide additional information only and do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. The measures are not necessarily indicative of operating profit or cash flow from operations as determined under GAAP. Other companies may calculate these measures differently.
The following tables reconcile these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures.

All-In Sustaining Costs
Newmont has worked to develop a metric that expands on GAAP measures such as cost of goods sold and non-GAAP measures, such as costs applicable to sales per ounce, to provide visibility into the economics of our mining operations related to expenditures, operating performance and the ability to generate cash flow from operations.
Current GAAP-measures used in the mining industry, such as cost of goods sold, do not capture all of the expenditures incurred to discover, develop, and sustain gold production. Therefore, we believe that all-in sustaining costs is a non-GAAP measure that provides additional information to management, investors, and analysts that aid in the understanding of the economics of our operations and performance compared to other producers and in the investor’s visibility by better defining the total costs associated with production.
All-in sustaining cost (AISC) amounts are intended to provide additional information only and do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. The measures are not necessarily indicative of operating profit or cash flow from operations as determined under GAAP. Other companies may calculate these measures differently as a result of differences in the underlying accounting principles, policies applied and in accounting frameworks such as in International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), or by reflecting the benefit from selling non-gold metals as a reduction to AISC. Differences may also arise related to definitional differences of sustaining versus development capital activities based upon each company’s internal policies.
The following disclosure provides information regarding the adjustments made in determining the all-in sustaining costs measure:
Cost Applicable to Sales - Includes all direct and indirect costs related to current gold production incurred to execute the current mine plan. Costs Applicable to Sales (CAS) includes by-product credits from certain metals obtained during the process of extracting and processing the primary ore-body. CAS is accounted for on an accrual basis and excludes Amortization and Reclamation and remediation, which is consistent with our presentation of CAS on the Statement of Consolidated Income. In determining AISC, only the CAS associated with producing and selling an ounce of gold is included in the measure. Therefore, the amount of gold CAS included in AISC is derived from the CAS presented in the Company’s Statement of Consolidated Income less the amount of CAS attributable to the production of copper at our Phoenix, Boddington and Batu Hijau mines. The copper CAS at those mine sites is disclosed in Note 3 – Segments that accompanies the Consolidated Financial Statements. The allocation of CAS between gold and copper at the Phoenix, Boddington and Batu Hijau mines is based upon the relative sales percentage of copper and gold sold during the period.
Remediation Costs - Includes accretion expense related to asset retirement obligations (ARO) and the amortization of the related Asset Retirement Cost (ARC) for the Company’s operating properties recorded as an ARC asset. Accretion related to ARO and the amortization of the ARC assets for reclamation and remediation do not reflect annual cash outflows but are calculated in accordance with GAAP. The accretion and amortization reflect the periodic costs of reclamation and remediation associated with current gold production and are therefore included in the measure. The allocation of these costs to gold and copper is determined using the same allocation used in the allocation of CAS between gold and copper at the Phoenix, Boddington and Batu Hijau mines.
Advanced Projects and Exploration - Includes incurred expenses related to projects that are designed to increase or enhance current gold production and gold exploration. We note that as current resources are depleted, exploration and advance projects are necessary for us to replace the depleting reserves or enhance the recovery and processing of the current reserves. As this relates to sustaining our gold production, and is considered a continuing cost of a mining company, these costs are included in the AISC measure. These costs are derived from the Advanced projects, research and development and Exploration amounts presented in the Company’s Statement of Consolidated Income less the amount attributable to the production of copper at our Phoenix, Boddington and Batu Hijau mines. The allocation of these costs to gold and copper is determined using the same allocation used in the allocation of CAS between gold and copper at the Batu Hijau, Boddington and Phoenix mines.
General and Administrative - Includes cost related to administrative tasks not directly related to current gold production, but rather related to support our corporate structure and fulfilling our obligations to operate as a public company. Including these expenses in the AISC metric provides visibility of the impact that general and administrative activities have on current operations and profitability on a per ounce basis.
Other Expense, net - Includes costs related to regional administration and community development to support current gold production. We exclude certain exceptional or unusual expenses from Other expense, net, such as restructuring, as these are not indicative to sustaining our current gold operations. Furthermore, this adjustment to Other expense, net is also consistent with the nature of the adjustments made to Net income (loss) as disclosed in the Company’s non-GAAP financial measure Adjusted net income (loss). The allocation of these costs to gold and copper is determined using the same allocation used in the allocation of CAS between gold and copper at the Phoenix, Boddington and Batu Hijau mines.
Treatment and Refining Costs - Includes costs paid to smelters for treatment and refining of our concentrates to produce the salable metal. These costs are presented net as a reduction of Sales.
Sustaining Capital - We determined sustaining capital as those capital expenditures that are necessary to maintain current gold production and execute the current mine plan. Capital expenditures to develop new operations, or related to projects at existing operations where these projects will enhance gold production or reserves, are considered development. We determined the breakout of sustaining and development capital costs based on a systematic review of our project portfolio in light of the nature of each project. Sustaining capital costs are relevant to the AISC metric as these are needed to maintain the Company’s current gold operations and provide improved transparency related to our ability to finance these expenditures from current operations. The allocation of these costs to gold and copper is determined using the same allocation used in the allocation of CAS between gold and copper at the Batu Hijau, Boddington and Phoenix mines.

Newmont Reports Reserves and Resources with Notable Additions
DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)--February 17, 2016--Newmont Mining Corporation (NYSE: NEM) (Newmont or the Company) reported gold reserves of 73.7 million ounces and copper reserves of 5.7 billion pounds for 2015.
The Company added 5.0 million ounces of reserves through exploration and 4.0 million ounces through the acquisition of Cripple Creek and Victor (CC&V), more than offsetting depletion of 6.5 million ounces. Notable gold reserve additions for the year include 1.1 million ounces at Kalgoorlie, 1.0 million ounces at Carlin underground, 0.8 million ounces at Tanami and 0.8 million ounces at Subika. Overall gold reserve grades rose slightly from the prior year to 1.06 grams per tonne. Gold resource additions1 include 0.9 million ounces at Subika, 0.8 million ounces at Carlin underground, 0.7 million ounces at Tanami, and 0.5 million ounces at Ahafo.
Divestments, price changes and revisions offset these gains. Gold reserves were calculated at $1,200 per ounce, down from $1,300 per ounce in 2014, resulting in a negative 3.0 million ounce revision due to price. The largest price impact was at Akyem where a marginally economic layback, not included in the current mine plan, was moved to resources. Newmont also moved 6.5 million ounces of reserves at Conga to resources due to the expiration of certain operating and construction permits as well as uncertain prospects for future development and permitting.
Newmont reported 37.8 million ounces of attributable Measured and Indicated gold resources and 15.3 million ounces attributable Inferred gold resources in 2015. Total attributable gold resources increased by 10.4 million ounces or 24% from the prior year. The Company added 4.3 million ounces through exploration and 6.1 million ounces through the addition of CC&V, which more than offset conversions of 5.5 million ounces and divestments of 1.2 million ounces. Gold resources were calculated at $1,400 per ounce, unchanged from the prior year.
Newmont also reported 5.7 billion pounds of attributable copper reserves, 9.7 billion pounds of attributable Measured and Indicated copper resources and 1.9 billion pounds attributable Inferred copper resources. Copper reserves were down from 2014 primarily due to the reclassification of Conga reserves. Copper reserves were calculated at $2.75 per pound, down from $3.00 per pound in 2014. Copper resources were calculated at $3.50 per pound, unchanged from 2014.
Attributable Proven and Probable silver reserves for 2015 were 113 million ounces. Attributable Measured and Indicated silver resources for 2015 were 89 million ounces, with additional Inferred silver resources of 26 million ounces. Silver reserves and resources were calculated using prices of $19.00 and $24.00 per ounce, respectively, down from $20.00 and $25.00, respectively from 2014.
1 Divestments include Regis and La Zanja equity reserves, which were removed from reported reserves. Resources include measured, indicated and inferred resources; totals may not add up due to rounding.
Gold Reserve Sensitivity
A $100 increase in gold price would result in an approximate 6% increase in gold reserves while a $100 decrease in gold price would result in an approximate 5% decrease in gold reserves. These sensitivities assume an oil price of $75 per barrel (WTI) and an Australian dollar exchange rate of $0.80.
For additional details on Newmont’s reported Gold, Copper and Silver Mineral Reserves and Resources, please refer to the tables at the end of this release.
Exploration Planned Activity
Newmont’s 2016 attributable exploration budget is approximately $185 million. Of this amount, the Company expects to spend about 45% in North America, 15% in South America, and the rest split between Asia Pacific, Africa and other locations. Of the total attributable exploration budget, Newmont expects to spend approximately 75% on near mine and brownfields exploration activities, with the balance allocated to greenfields programs.
Reserve and Resource Tables
Proven and Probable reserves are based on extensive drilling, sampling, mine modeling and metallurgical testing from which we determine economic feasibility. Metal price assumptions follow SEC guidance not to exceed a three year trailing average. The price sensitivity of reserves depends upon several factors including grade, metallurgical recovery, operating cost, waste-to-ore ratio and ore type. Metallurgical recovery rates vary depending on the metallurgical properties of each deposit and the production process used. The reserve tables included in this release list the average metallurgical recovery rate for each deposit, which takes into account the assumed processing methods. The cut-off grade, or lowest grade of mineralized material considered economic to process, varies with material type, price, metallurgical recoveries, operating costs and co- or by-product credits. The Proven and Probable reserve figures presented herein are estimates based on information available at the time of calculation. No assurance can be given that the indicated levels of recovery of gold and copper will be realized. Ounces of gold and silver or pounds of copper included in the proven and probable reserves are those contained prior to losses during metallurgical treatment. Reserve estimates may require revision based on actual production. Market fluctuations in the price of gold or copper, as well as increased production costs or reduced metallurgical recovery rates, could render certain proven and probable reserves containing relatively lower grades of mineralization uneconomic to exploit and might result in a reduction of reserves.
The Measured, Indicated, and Inferred resource figures presented herein are estimates based on information available at the time of calculation and are exclusive of reserves. A “Mineral Resource” is a concentration or occurrence of solid material of economic interest in or on the earth’s crust in such form, grade, or quality and quantity that there are reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction. The location, quantity, grade or quality, continuity and other geological characteristics of a Mineral Resource are known, estimated or interpreted from specific geological evidence and knowledge, including sampling. Mineral Resources are sub-divided, in order of increasing geological confidence, into Inferred, Indicated and Measured categories. Ounces of gold and silver or pounds of copper included in the Measured, Indicated and Inferred resources are those contained prior to losses during metallurgical treatment. Market fluctuations in the price of gold and copper, as well as increased production costs or reduced metallurgical recovery rates, could change future estimates of resources. Please refer to the reserves and resources legal cautionary note at the end of the release.
We publish reserves and resources annually, and will recalculate reserves and resources at year-end 2016, taking into account metal prices, changes, if any, in future production and capital costs, mine designs, model changes, divestments and depletion as well as any acquisitions and additions during 2016.

Cautionary Statement regarding Reserves and Resources:
The “reserves” disclosed in this release have been prepared in compliance with Industry Guide 7 published by the SEC. As used in this news release, the term “reserve” means that part of a mineral deposit that can be economically and legally extracted or produced at the time of the reserve determination. The term “economically,” as used in this definition, means that profitable extraction or production has been established or analytically demonstrated in a feasibility study to be viable and justifiable under reasonable investment and market assumptions. The term “legally,” as used in this definition, does not imply that all permits needed for mining and processing have been obtained or that other legal issues have been completely resolved. However, for a reserve to exist, Newmont must have a justifiable expectation, based on applicable laws and regulations, that issuance of permits or resolution of legal issues necessary for mining and processing at a particular deposit will be accomplished in the ordinary course and in a timeframe consistent with Newmont’s current mine plans. Reserves in this news release are aggregated from the Proven and Probable classes.
The terms “resources” and “Measured, Indicated and Inferred resources” are used in this news release. Investors are advised that the SEC does not recognize these terms. Newmont has determined that such “resources” would be substantively the same as those prepared using the Guidelines established by the Society of Mining, Metallurgy and Exploration (SME) and defined as “Mineral Resource”. Estimates of resources are subject to further exploration and development, are subject to additional risks, and no assurance can be given that they will eventually convert to future reserves. Inferred Resources, in particular, have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence and their economic and legal feasibility. Investors are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of the Inferred Resource exists, or is economically or legally mineable. Also, disclosure of contained ounces is permitted under the SME Guideline and other regulatory guidelines, such as Canada’s NI 43-101 and Australia’s JORC. However, the SEC generally requires mineral resource information in SEC-filed documents to be reported only as in-place tonnage and grade. Investors are reminded that even if significant mineralization is discovered and converted to reserves, during the time necessary to ultimately move such mineralization to production the economic feasibility of production may change. See the Company’s Annual Report for the “Proven and Probable Reserve” and “Mineralized Material” tables prepared in compliance with the SEC’s Industry Guide 7, available at http://www.newmont.com/our-investors/financial-reporting/sec-filings and on www.sec.gov. Investors are reminded that the tables presented in the Annual Report are estimates as of December 31, 2015 and were presented on an attributable basis reflecting the Company’s ownership interest at such time.
Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward Looking Statements:
This release contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which are intended to be covered by the safe harbor created by such sections and other applicable laws. Such forward-looking statements may include, without limitation, estimates and expectations of future exploration expenditures and activities. Where the Company expresses or implies an expectation or belief as to future events or results, such expectation or belief is expressed in good faith and believed to have a reasonable basis. However, such statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors, which could cause actual results to differ materially from future results expressed or implied by the “forward-looking statements”. For a discussion of such risks relating to our business and other factors, see the Company’s Form 10-K, filed on or about February 17, 2016, with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the headings “Risk Factors” and “Forward-Looking Statements.” The Company does not undertake any obligation to release publicly revisions to any “forward-looking statement,” including, without limitation, outlook, to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this news release, or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as may be required under applicable securities laws. Investors should not assume that any lack of update to a previously issued “forward-looking statement” constitutes a reaffirmation of that statement. Continued reliance on “forward-looking statements” is at investors' own risk.
